My 186 R110’s are at -7cm. I like them and they feel balanced there. If I was starting over I’d probably go -7.5 or -7.75cm. I also have a small bsl (295mm) so for a bigger boot that’d be more like -8 to -8.2cm behind true center.
I like more traditionally mounted skis and tend to drive the tips. Had to adapt somewhat to a more centered stance with these but I get along well with them now
My one ninety three R One tens are at minus seven point seven five for a three twenty seven bsl and are perfect. I originally mounted my bc one tens at minus nine for the reasons you mentioned and they felt sluggish and I didn’t love them. I moved to minus seven point five and they felt very much like the R one ten but lighter and shorter. I don’t think this particular shape is very tolerant of mounting outside the recommend line.
The only thing I’m not in love with is the twin tip tail, it catches in funky snow sometimes.
Jeebus, MO’s latest email pimping the AM oneten has me wondering if I should’ve dropped on those instead of the Rdimez. At the time I had mFree oneofeights which are now down the road

I don't think anyone is going to be disappointed with the RDimes. Really just the awesomest ski ever. Literally just skied it every day this season except three I think. Absolutely loved it in all conditions. Seems that Marshall just makes so many good skis you are always going to be wanting the next one.....just don't let that ruin the enjoyment of the one you just got.
When and where do we get to talk about the Lab One Zero Eight that I saw on the website?
^^ I have both the R and AM (my AM110 is a beta), and the only real question is whether you want a touch of camber or not. For my purposes, the AM110 will not see much use. My days will be split between the FL105 (daily driver), R110 (if I feel frisky), the RC116 (which I think I am going to love), and the HB122. Oh, and the RC85 when it is really low tide. I also have had some great days on my R120, so I have to make sure to give it some love too.
They are all just so damn good.
Iron Horse - Can you compare the FL105 to the R110? After years of more modern mount points, I've been thinking about going a bit further back. I don't want to give up too much looseness / ability to slash the tails though.
Let me start by saying that the FL105 is my all time favorite ski. It makes me feel like Superman. Makes me feel like I know what I am doing. So good in so many different conditions, confidence-inspiring no matter what the mountain throws at you.
The R110 takes the genetics of the FL105 and makes it more accessible. Rails but at the same time can slash. I originally had an FR110, but it was too loose for my taste. The R110 is exactly what I want in a reverse ski.
My R110 is mounted -8.25 whereas my FL105 is -10.75.
It sounds to me like you would love the FL105 v2. I haven't skied this new version, but on paper, it looks to be much looser than the original, especially in the tail. Also the mount point was moved up a touch, so that might be a nice way for you to adjust to something more directional.

I think the AM110 (and BC110 cambered) would be everything I wanted the FR110 and BC110 to be and some - which says a lot as they are great skis too. They would prob give my M-Free 112s a run for being a perfect daily driver.
Going back to the FR110, I really enjoyed them in the spring slush this year in the Sierra. Mahalo, Marshal!
